                                                        an obvious area to target to help combat rising
                                                        energy bills.
               and why now?                             Increasingly tough legislation is driving the demand for
                                                        improved energy efficiency in the home, with the UK
                                                        Government committed to reducing CO2 emissions by
                                                        80% from 1990 levels, by 2050*2. This means a reduction
                                                        of at least 34% in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.

                                                        It’s clear that to achieve these ambitious goals, our approach
                                                        to energy use and the way we heat our homes has to change.
                                                        Pivotal to this change is improved energy efficiency and a
                                                        greater use of renewable energy.

                                                        Air source heat pumps use free renewable energy from
                                                        the outside air and upgrade it for use in the home.

                                                        provide an effective, energy efficient alternative
                                                        to traditional heating systems. Ecodan uses

                                                        using energy absorbed from the outdoor air.
                                                        As perhaps the single most important renewable solution,
                                                        heat pumps are an established, proven technology, supported

                                                        their application for domestic heating.

                                                        have helped to position Ecodan air source heat pumps as
                                                        the market leader.

               Ecodan -                                 The Government is focused on the need for
                                                        housing growth as an ideal opportunity to cut

               suitable for                             energy use in homes and continues to introduce
                                                        legislation and guidelines to support this.

               both new                                 Buildings account for 44% of all UK CO2 emissions (more than
                                                        industry or transport)*4. As a nation we are now creating new

               and existing                             low carbon houses, yet around 75% of existing homes will
                                                        still be in use in 2050, so to a large extent our future housing
                                                        stock is already built. If we can find ways of easily improving
               homes                                    the efficiency of existing buildings we can make a dramatic
                                                        difference to both CO2 emissions and energy use.

                                                        Ecodan provides a proven, efficient way of heating homes.

                                                        and even higher when used in conjunction with other

                                                        Before considering any heat pump, Mitsubishi Electric strongly
                                                        recommends that basic thermal improvements are undertaken

                                                         is a cold low pressure liquid.
                                                         1. The refrigerant passes into the evaporator and heat energy from
                                                            the outside air passes over the evaporator causing the refrigerant
                                                            to increase in temperature and change to a hot gas.
                                                         2. This hot gas then enters the compressor where its temperature
                                                            increases further as a result of the compression process.
                                                         3. The hot refrigerant gas is then condensed as it passes across
                                                            one side of a plate heat exchanger. The heat is transferred to the
                                                            cooler side (water side) of the heat exchanger, and this is transferred
                                                            via the primary water circuit to heat up the water tank inside
                                                            the property. As the temperature of the refrigerant decreases
                                                            the state changes from a gas back to a cool liquid.
                                                         4. Despite dropping in temperature, the cool liquid still has a high
                                                            pressure and to reduce this pressure the liquid refrigerant passes
                                                            through an expansion valve. This causes the pressure to drop and
                                                            the temperature lowers, returning the refrigerant to its initial state
                                                            of cool low pressure liquid.

                                                         This process is repeated.
                                                         It is only the refrigerant that passes through this cycle; the
                                                         water is heated as it travels through the plate heat exchanger.
                                                         The heat energy from the refrigerant passes through the
                                                         plate heat exchanger to the cooler water which increases
                                                         in temperature. This heated water enters the home heating
                                                         circuit and can also be used to provide domestic hot water
                                                         via a hot water cylinder.

                                                         fixed-speed heat pumps because they regulate the heat output
                                                         to exactly match the household requirements and therefore
                                                         consume only the energy needed.

                                                         Ecodan achieves high levels of efficiency
                                                         because the system allows the lowest flow

                                                         maintaining the desired room temperature.
                                                         It does this by using room temperature as well as outdoor
                                                         temperature, making the system respond both faster and

                                                             loft freed up a lot of space and having installed larger, more
                                                             efficient radiators throughout, their home is now warm enough
                                                             without the need to boost the heating with log fires, as they
                                                             previously would have done.

                                                             Unlike other residents in the village, the Fox family no longer
                                                             have to rely on increasingly expensive oil to heat their home
                                                             and by converting to Ecodan, from their initial heating bill,
                                                             they estimate an annual saving of £500.

                                                             In addition, with Ecodan they enjoy a more even temperature
                                                             throughout the house. The new system also provides them
                                                             with copious amounts of hot water - more than enough for

                                                             Ecodan solved this
